PREGNANT WOMAN ONLY CASES

A Families First assistance unit may consist of a pregnant woman only
when:

∑There are no
living eligible children in the home.

∑It is
medically verified that the woman is at least in her sixth month of
pregnancy.

∑The woman
and child (if born) would meet all other eligibility criteria (i.e., the
unborn is deprived of parental support, etc.).

∑The pregnant
woman is not a minor whose parent is in the home and is receiving Families
First for the pregnant minorís sibling(s).

The pregnant woman must have a Personal Responsibility Plan, including
a work activity unless exempt.†
Pregnancy does not exempt the woman from work; however, conditions
associated with her pregnancy may cause a temporary incapacity which would
exempt her from work.
